Three days later, a small banquet was being held in a banquet hall in the largest foreign-related hotel in the capital. The protagonists were the Zhao family of three, and Zhao Lianyi, as the only daughter of the Zhao family, was solemnly introduced to everyone.
Because everyone had heard about the Zhao family's mistaken daughter before, but they had never seen Mr. Zhao's daughter in a formal occasion. They were also very curious, but they did not expect Zhao Fenglin to introduce his daughter to everyone so publicly this time, so everyone who received the post was present.
When they saw Lianyi, the tall girl wearing a red modified cheongsam dress, standing next to Zhao Fenglin and Zhou Mengyu, anyone who was not blind could tell that this was a family of three, and that Zhao Lianyi had perfectly inherited the advantages of her parents and had an outstanding temperament.
After Zhao Fenglin made a brief speech, he introduced his daughter to everyone. Lianyi walked elegantly to the microphone in five-inch high heels amid the applause of the crowd, and thanked everyone with a smile:
"Thank you all for taking the time to attend today's banquet. I am Zhao Lianyi. Due to some mistakes, I was separated from my biological parents for seventeen years. I am very happy to be able to return to them. At the same time, I am also very grateful to my adoptive parents for their training of me. I would like to take this opportunity of the official opening of Zhao's in the capital to let everyone get to know me again. Please take good care of me in the future!"
Lianyi spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, and on the wall behind her, a slide show was playing. It contained the few photos of her from childhood to adulthood. Except for her infancy, the others were basically group photos, and she was wearing a very ordinary school uniform.
Of course, there are also a few photos of her looking fat as a ball, which made everyone amazed. Girls really change a lot when they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful.
The Wu family members present at the scene looked at the photos with a hint of embarrassment on their faces. Wan Guifen knew very well that Lianyi was not her biological daughter, so she had no intention of taking photos to commemorate the occasion. The photos on the slides were basically group photos of the school.
Wu Xianrou was also present at the scene. Looking at the few photos of Lianyi as a girl, her eyes were complicated. She had to admit that the other party was indeed better than her.
Zhao Lianyi did not hide her past at all, and even openly showed everyone photos of herself when she was as fat as a ball. She also jokingly said that she was well taken care of by her adoptive parents, and that her fatness proved that she was very loved. After all, it was not easy to be that fat, which caused everyone to laugh in good faith.
Her disadvantages, shortcomings and small blemishes were accepted by everyone after a few teasing remarks. Even if they were brought up in the future, they would not hurt her at all. This was really thoughtful.
Wu Xianrou bit her lip. She wanted to turn around and leave right away, but she hadn't seen the person she wanted to see yet, so she could only continue standing in the banquet hall with her wine glass in hand.
The following photos are of Lianyi when she entered Zhao’s company and started her internship, as well as photos with Zhao Fenglin and his wife. At this time, she had transformed into a more beautiful, elegant and confident person.
Amid the applause of the crowd, Lianyi raised her glass with a smile, then took a sip and thanked everyone again.
Afterwards, everyone in the banquet hall entered the free communication time, and Zhao Fenglin personally took Lianyi to meet several industry seniors.
Zhao Fengxu also came to the banquet with Zhao Zitong. Zhao Zitong, who had become a little boy, was wearing a well-fitting little suit and looked like a little adult. He was looking at Zhao Lianyi curiously. His father told him that this was his benefactor who saved him from human traffickers when he was a child.
"Hello, sister! I'm Zhao Zitong, your younger brother. I heard that you saved me, but I didn't even have the chance to thank you in person. Thank you, sister! Otherwise, I would have been separated from my parents!"
After hearing this, Lianyi looked down at the young boy and said with a smile:
"We are a family, and saving you was just a coincidence, so don't be so polite!"
The adult and the child began to chat seriously, all of which focused on topics that little Zhao Zitong liked.
Yang Ziyi, who was with his girlfriend from a distance, attended the banquet on behalf of his parents. Looking at the sweet-smiling Zhao Lianyi, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. A small mistake in the past made him miss a lot.
"Honey, what are you looking at? Is that Miss Zhao prettier than me?"
Anna said somewhat unhappily.
Today she deliberately wore a white suspender slim long dress to show off her good figure. Her curly hair was simply styled and draped on one side, revealing her round and white shoulders. She was the most boldly dressed woman in the entire banquet.
After Yang Ziyi heard this, his eyes flashed and he said with a smile:
"You're overthinking. Our Yang family and the Zhao family are old friends. We will have many opportunities to interact with each other in the future. This is the first time I've met this daughter who was called back. Let's go and say hello together!"
"good."
Anna was very satisfied with the answer. She took Yang Ziyi's arm and said with a smile.
But they had only taken two steps when they were stopped by Xianrou. Anna raised her eyebrows and said with a smile:
"My dear, which confidante of yours is this?"
"I'm not his confidante, I'm his creditor, and we have some accounts to settle!"
Xianrou said this in a cold tone, with a hint of disgust in her eyes.
An unnatural look flashed across Yang Ziyi's face, then he patted Anna's shoulder and said stiffly:
"Anna, your lipstick is smudged. Go touch up your makeup! I want to talk to my old classmate."
Anna looked at Xianrou, who had an expressionless face, and did not see any attachment to Yang Ziyi in her eyes, so she shrugged and left gracefully.
"Hey Xianrou, are you okay?"
"I've been abroad for four years, receiving psychological treatment, and was forced to have a child, your child!"
Xianrou said coldly.
Hearing this, Yang Ziyi's pupils shrank. He suddenly felt that the situation was not good. His breathing became rapid. He tightened his grip on the wine glass. He looked around and found that no one was paying attention to the two of them. He lowered his voice and said:
"How could this happen? No, no."
"Oh! I tried to remedy the situation in the hospital, but it was unsuccessful. After I recovered from my illness abroad, I found out that I was pregnant. And because my health was very poor, if I insisted on not having the child, there was a high probability that I would not even be qualified to be a mother in the future, so I had no choice but to keep the child.
Your parents also know about this, and they want to use money to get rid of me. I agreed! Because I never thought about taking my child back to your Yang family and living with you, the person who forced me. I came here just to tell you this fact. You'd better urge your parents not to delay my time to go abroad. "
After Xianrou finished speaking, she turned around and left the banquet hall. Her purpose was to stimulate Yang Jun and his wife through Yang Ziyi, so that they would fulfill their promise as soon as possible and not think about delaying time.
Xianrou, who was leaving, met Anna, who was coming back to touch up her makeup, at the door of the lounge. She stopped her with a smile.
